Oven Roasted Asparagus

A fun way to serve asparagus that looks fancy, but is actually not.

This is good side for if you are making a hunk of meat as a main.  You can prep the asparagus while the meat cooks, and then toss the asparagus in the oven to cook while the meat rests.

Easy to do on a weeknight, Serves 2

1 bunch asparagus trimed to top 4 inches 2 pats butter
3 slices lemon 1/8 tsp kosher salt
1 clove garlic, crushed 1/8 tsp black pepper

Inspired by Daniel Humm’s and Will Guidara’s I Love NY cookbook. My version is slightly less fancy (i don’t bother to count or to peel the asparagus.)
